📈🥳Growth Intern – HOOST

About HOOST

HOOST is an early-stage startup reimagining how people discover and book venues, vendors, and vibes for unforgettable events 🎉. We're launching in NYC and scaling nationwide — starting with the experiences that define our generation, from warehouse raves to rooftop pop-ups under the skyline.

Our mission is to transform the $153B+ U.S. event services industry — one driven by Gen Z and Millennials, 78% of whom say they’d rather spend on experiences than things. HOOST makes planning those moments seamless, social, and fun. We're moving fast, shipping fast, and building for what comes next.
